How it Started

In May of 2006, the Carol’s lives changed forever. Their son Taylor was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia and was given two weeks to live. After soul searching and seeking guidance from experts, the family decided to move Taylor to the Children’s Hospital of Seattle. It was there that Taylor began the fight for his life.

The Carol family acknowledges that it was both the kindness of strangers and Taylor’s video games that sustained him with joy and hope during his darkest days, and they decided they wanted to pass that hope on to other kids struggling with debilitating illnesses and injury.

Today and beyond.

How it's going.

The GameChanger Team Continues to Grow

GameChanger Charity has grown into a passionate and diverse team of staff and volunteers dedicated to helping children and families through the challenges that come with hospital stays. Along with our Board of Directors and Board of Advisors, which are both filled with industry giants, we are dedicated to bringing premium gaming & educational experiences to Children’s Hospitals around the world.

The Difference we Make in Lives is Real
